Dear Kiara,
Yesterday began my first day of basic training. I know I've been gone for only a week but it already seems like an eternity without you. Anyway, the other lions and I aren't sure but we think our Drill Sergeant's mentally unstable or something. In the first hour we were with him he sent three lions to the medic and some of the older lions have told us that, that was him on a good day. I hope that these three months pass soon.
Love, Kovu

Kovu was back home in the Pridelands. No PLMC, depersonalization processes, or insane Drill Sergeant. Just him and Kiara watching the sun rise over the horizon, Kiara's head buried in his dark mane. "I love you Kovu," said Kiara lovingly to him. "I love you too Kiara" tenderly replied Kovu. They began nuzzle as the first rays of the sun shot over the grasslands painting the sky a beautiful array of colors, Kiara began to lick him on the cheek...
You got to get up! You got to get up! You got to get this morning!sounded the bugler cutting through the stillness of the morning.
Kovu growled as he reluctantly woke up, he had been having a good dream... But how could he sleep with that damn bugler playing Reveille?
"But mom I don't want to go to pouncing lessons," groaned Kijana not really used to wake-up call yet.
"All right you termites!" shouted the Sergeant storming in fully dressed, "Attention!"
Every lion in the barrack arose groggily to attention, Kovu was the first up. However one still remained...
"Kijana! Up now," demanded the Sergeant.
"Just five more minutes...," moaned Kijana.
Becoming upset at Kijana obviousness, the Sergeant walked over to Kijana's bunk and flipped the whole bed, if you can call it a bed, onto the ground. It landed with a crash.
"Ow," painfully said Kijana from under the mattress, "So I'm guessing that's a no..."
"Twenty now termite," shouted the Sergeant louder than usual so that Kijana could hear him from under the mattress.

Now that all of them were fully dressed Kovu (and the others) were running their five miles for that morning. Which was no problem for Kovu, when he was a cub Zira used to make him do he same thing, except he ran ten. 'Too bad that can't be said for some of these guys,' thought Kovu to himself. but shook the thought from his mind as they began to start "sound off" or what ever the heck it was called.
Sergeant: "I don't know what I've been told!"
"I don't know what I've been told!"
Sergeant: "But the pride life is getting old!"
"But the pride life is getting old!"
Sergeant: "So, to help me find new ways to kill!"
"So, to help me find new ways to kill!"
Sergeant: "I enlisted for three months or two!"
"I enlisted for three months or two!"
Sergeant: "Sound off!"
"One, two!"
Sergeant: "Sound off!"
"Three, four!"
Sergeant: "Break it on down!"
"One, two, three four!"
As they finished their run and "sound off" some of the lions laid down on the ground gasping for air.
"Wha-- what's the whole-- point of this-- Sarge," gasped Chagina.
"Why? Are you in pain termite? Well good! Pain is weakness leaving the body! And I will not tolerate weakness in this outfit!" ranted the Sergeant.
"Well then screw that," yelled Chagina getting his second wind.
"Yah!" said Jinkens backing Chagina up, "Why the hell should we listen to you?"
"Yah," shouted the whole line in unison with the exception of Kovu, he knew better than to adiann with the Drill Sergeant.
"You best get back in line now termites before something bad happens to you all," coolly said the Sergeant to Chagina's face.
"Or what are you going to do you maneless son of a hyena?" asked Chagina.
"Oooooohhh," said all the recruits acting like cubs did when one cub said something mean to another.
'Oh, for the love of Aiheu,' thought Kovu, 'This isn't going to be good,'
The Sergeant gives the incompetent recruits the death stare.
"Corporal," said the Sergeant dangerously.
"Yes sir" said the Corporal slightly sighing. He knew what was about to happen.
"Get me my field knife"
1 hour later...
"Who's the maneless son of a hyena now termites?" questioned the Sergeant.
"We are sir!" replied the now maneless lions. (including Kovu)
"Good, now drop and give me fifty, and don't forget to sound off!" added the Sergeant.
